Sapporo Beer Museum - Hokkaido

Internationally a lot of people recognize Sapporo for it's beer, so a trip to the Sapporo beer museum is quit good, even if you don't like beer.

It's a great day out for the family as its about a 25 min walk east of Sapporo station. There are a couple of nice beer garden grill restaurants and the popular "genghis kan" (lamb on a hot plate).

Of course if the kids get bored there is a big shopping center next door called Ario, it's fairly new and has great entertainment for kids with food courts and restaurants.
